    I honestly think that the main focus should be shifting from PMO to real life activities. Real life adventures. I see people complaining about how seeing women in public makes them horny, isn't that the whole part of being a male, woman should turn you on, it's part of being the a man. But I keep hearing guys complaining about get erection when they see women in public places. I think we are drifting away from the real issues here.

    Quitting porn and masturbation are two things but meeting woman and having casual hook ups is natural and it's being the man that you are. Unless you choosing to stay away from sexual activities altogether.

    True, when we want to recover from PMO, we don't just recover from PMO, we need to improve or adjust so much of ourselves along the way, and it all starts with you deciding when to change, and actually implementing that change.

    Exactly! Making that choice and sticking to it without excuses, urges, morning wood, a random boners will be there for life, it's up to us to stick to the goals.

    Yeah man, I've also struggled with all the above, but really it's part of growing up and becoming a functional adult, I've grown to like it actually, what is so wrong with having a random boner? enjoy it! it's part of you, and will always be,

    unless you alter your body and do surgeries and all that... just don't, god made you perfect, why would you change anything about you?

    I'd fucking kill to get an erection in public places.--No, you silly geese, not because I want to have someone notice it and then blah blah blah porno fantasy exhibitionist la la la--no! To be able to get one, it means your wired up just the right way. For those of us who have gone full blown level 6 or 7 (i.e. from this fantastic manual on your fucked up wiring and habits: https://www.amazon.com/Treating-Pornography-Addiction-Essential-Recovery/dp/097722080X), it's nearly impossible to get one in public, especially one that isn't based on some old ghost of our porn-addicted past jogging our mind, rather one based on just seeing someone attractive in public and being physiologically provoked by it.
